One SATA drive and two IDEs, I'm pushing nearly 3/4 terabytes.. thinking a rackmount raid array, or optical backup, might be in order. What do other people use for high volume storage at home?

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
every Maxtor and most seagates I have had to return because the drives just fucked up. I bought 2 of those 300 gig seagates and both were bad. I use the Western Digital 160 gig drives and the iomega rocket pods

It's funny how people have completely different experiences with hard drive manufacturers. I've pretty much always sworn by Western Digital, never had a problem.. yet I know a guy who ordered 8 for a rack, and 6 of them were bad.
Everyone has their horror stories.. the lesson is redundancy, never rely on a single system or storage method for the most important of files. It's common sense to backup on a regular basis and keep things in order, but people get lazy.

Me too, every Western Digital HD that I've had has lasted a little over a year & the Seagate was the same. Maxtor has been by far the most reliable for me - some are going on 3-4 years and still working like a charm.
